Blandin Foundation and Connect Minnesota hosted over 150 people at this year’s 2011 Broadband Conference, which focused on the ARRA Broadband funding efforts underway in Minnesota. Discussions with national and local policy leaders brought conference goers up to speed about how policy impacts them and how they link to the big picture. Through the sharing of tools and accomplishments of ARRA projects, we celebrated the progress towards meeting goals while planning for the future.
